We are an office supply wholesaler for the tri-state and extended area.

The position available is order filler, which covers a few different jobs:

Picking – Using a headset, in which a computerized voice directs them to locations on the pick path, instructs them how many of the item to pull in that location, and which order it belongs to. They are filling anywhere from 1-130 orders at a time. Each order may consist of one or multiple items per order. Once they complete their set of orders, they drop them at the packing stations and proceed to grab their next set of orders, until all orders for the day have been pulled.

Packing – Using a pick ticket to review that the order was filled correctly. All orders are packed into polybags or boxes, labeled, and put onto a conveyor belt

Staging – Working on the dock using an RF scanner to determine which pallet the package goes on. They will scan the label and be directed to a pre-determined pallet. The carton will go on to the pallet (they may be required to rearrange the pallets on occasion to make sure heavier products are the bottom and cartons fit squarely on the pallet). They will also assist in wrapping pallets with stretch film and use a pallet jack to load pallets on to a truck.
